Though NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's Monday morning news conference in Jacksonville was dominated by talk of ticket sales and the Jaguars' future in Jacksonville, Goodell touched on labor issues, agents involvement with college players and rookie contracts.

"I've been on record: The system is broken as it relates to that," Goodell said about the pay scale to rookies. "If money is given to players who can't play at the NFL level, that's less money that goes to the veteran who should be rewarded for his performance."

Asked about what, if anything, the NFL can do to address agents' contacting college underclassmen, resulting in NCAA violations, Goodell said he has discussed the situation with the NCAA and the NFL Players Association.

"I've spoken to head coaches, including Jack Del Rio," Goodell said. "This is an issue we've got to collectively determine how we solve.

"Not every agent does this wrong. In fact, I would say most agents don't do this wrong, but unfortunately you get somebody who tries to break the rule, and that's a negative."

Goodell met with Jaguars players before speaking to the media and said players had a lot of questions about labor issues. The current collective bargaining agreement expires after this season and the sides appear headed toward a lockout.

Goodell said the meeting with the players wasn't intended as a negotiation meeting. He was asked if it's easier to make a new agreement when the league is making more money.

"It's always easier to make a collective bargaining agreement when you're growing," Goodell said. "It's a lot harder to get an agreement when you're shrinking. Growing is good for everybody. Growing is good for the game, and it's good for our fans."

Dance-off

During Sunday's lightning delay, the Jaguars held a dance competition between rookies in the organization. Several players posted photos on Twitter of rookies dancing in a taped-off area in the locker room.

"One of the trainers actually won the dance-off," receiver Kassim Osgood said. "A new rookie trainer. He had some moves, but we were anxiously waiting to get out here to practice."
